I use to be a nut when it came to couponing.. I would swap weekly and hit aprox 5-9 stores a week . I was lucky tho, I was able to use expired coupons up to 6 month past the expiration date and those, alot of people were giving away for free.. I had stock piles of stuff, but no where near hoarder boarder.. Biggest savings was I paid $56 for $200 dollars worth of stuff.. Never could beat that again.. Free this if you bought that, and had a coupon for that plus you could use the stores coupon too. triple whammy.. Not to mention its was either doubled or tripled coupon.. I had a huge tote with all my coupons separated by month then by the store departments.. SO there I was for hours in the grocery store checkin prices and comparing.. it was soooooo time consuming.. Been there wont do it again. If I have one and I use the product well then I'll use it, but I will not invest the hours and hours and hours to save the $100..i'd rather be quilting..
I remember having sooo many coupons I confused the register.. The manager had to manually ok/over-ride all the coupons in the register individually after the 50th one..
I always felt bad for the person behind me, the items rung up fine but all those coupons had to be scanned, and I never had less than 25..
